Attack Of The Buddhas In The Launch Trailer For Asura’s Wrath

I'm still not sure what to think about Asura's Wrath. Everyone keeps comparing it to my beloved God of War, but there are actually very few similarities. The game is centered around eastern mythology, the gameplay isn't so much hack 'n' slashy as it is, oddly enough, like Shenmue or Heavy Rain, and as far as I can tell the game seems to take place in the same barren wasteland that the entirety of the Dragon Ball Z series did. Although, both Asura and Kratos DO yell a lot.

I’m still not sure what to think about Asura’s Wrath. Everyone keeps comparing it to my beloved God of War, but there are actually very few similarities. The game is centered around eastern mythology, the gameplay isn’t so much hack ‘n’ slashy as it is, oddly enough, like Shenmue or Heavy Rain.

Furthermore, as far as I can tell, the game seems to take place in the same barren wasteland that the entirety of the Dragon Ball Z series did. Although, both Asura and Kratos DO yell a lot.

Whatever I decide to think between now and next month, Capcom has fleshed out a new trailer celebrating the impending release of a game sure to win the “Game with Most Testosterone” award this year.

Have a look below.

Am I the only person shocked that the game is still rated T? Seems so much more violent.

Asura’s Wrath is out February 21 in NTSC-land.

What say you, gamers? What does one get someone like Asura for his birthday? Is that the most random thought you’ll hear today? More at 11.
